Ingredients




1 cup marinated artichoke hearts
2 Tbsp of the artichoke marinading liquid
1 cup mixed pitted olives
3 garlic cloves
fresh parsley
15 oz cont. ricotta
3 Tbsp whipping cream
Italian seasoning salt
crostini

Preparation

1 To a food processor, add the artichoke hearts, the marinading liquid, olives, garlic cloves and a handful of fresh parsley. 2 Pulse until a fine course consistency. Do not puree it, a little texture is good! Set aside. 3 In a bowl add the ricotta, whipping cream and season with the salt and some pepper. Whip using a hand mixer for approx 1.5 minutes, until light and creamy. 4 To assemble simply put a dollop of the whipped ricotta on the crostini and then top that with a bit of the tapenade. So much flavor in each bite!
